Oregon Advances Bill To Give Illegals Driving Privileges

SALEM, Ore. (AP) — An Oregon Senate committee has advanced a bill granting four-year driver's licenses to people who can't prove they're legally in the United States. The Senate Business and Transportation Committee approved the bill yesterday on a 4-2 vote. The bill would allow immigrants who have lived in Oregon for at least a year and meet other requirements to apply for driver's cards without proving legal presence. The card would be valid for only four years and would indicate "driving privilege only."
